ATLS 10th Edition - mATLS Online Modules
**This course does not confer ATLS verification, and it is not the ATLS 10th Edition COVID Extension Content Review. No refunds will be processed for purchasing this course in error.**
The mATLS® Modules include13 online modules covering a standardized approach to the care of the trauma patient in the "golden hour"—the period of time following traumatic injury during which there is the highest likelihood of death.
Important: Completion of the mATLS Modules does not grant ATLS Provider Status. An ATLS Verification Card will not be issued upon completion of this material. This course does not satisfy the requirements for ATLS Training/Verification and is not intended for students enrolled in a course at an approved ATLS Site.
If you are a student enrolled at an ATLS site and are looking for your online course, please contact the site coordinator of the ATLS site. For more information on ATLS courses, please visit our main page: ATLS
Credit from this mATLS Modules course cannot be applied toward a future ATLS course.

Disclosure Policy
In accordance with the ACCME Accreditation Criteria, the American College of Surgeons must ensure that anyone in a position to control the content of the educational activity (planners and speakers/authors/discussants/moderators) has disclosed all financial relationships with any commercial interest (termed by the ACCME as “ineligible companies”, defined below) held in the last 24 months (see below for definitions). Please note that first authors were required to collect and submit disclosure information on behalf all other authors/contributors, if applicable.
Ineligible companies: The ACCME defines an “ineligible company” as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services used on or consumed by patients. Providers of clinical services directly to patients are NOT included in this definition. |
Financial Relationships: Relationships in which the individual benefits by receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, ownership interest (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interest, excluding diversified mutual funds), or other financial benefit. Financial benefits are usually associated with roles such as employment, management position, independent contractor (including contracted research), consulting, speaking and teaching, membership on advisory committees or review panels, board membership, and other activities from which remuneration is received, or expected. |
Conflict of Interest: Circumstances create a conflict of interest when an individual has an opportunity to affect CME content about products or services of an ineligible company with which he/she has a financial relationship. |
The ACCME also requires that ACS manage any reported conflict and eliminate the potential for bias during the educational activity. Any conflicts noted below have been managed to our satisfaction. The disclosure information is intended to identify any commercial relationships and allow learners to form their own judgments. However, if you perceive a bias during the educational activity, please report it on the evaluation.
